Introducing a new local and ecofriendly coffee delivery service.
Tell us a little about Atomic Coffee Roasters?
We first started roasting coffee on Ponsonby Road in 1992. At that time, it was a small, scruffy team, pumping out live music and great coffee. In 1995 we moved to Kingsland, as the business grew, and we’ve been at our New North Road site ever since.
Coffee is our absolute focus—we’ve built our reputation on rich, robust flavours and we’ve stayed true to that approach—it’s the Atomic way. We’ve built our brand over the years and we now supply many amazing cafes nationally, plus, in addition to our roastery and café, we have three of our own espresso bars in central Auckland. We love being a part of the central Auckland community.
You have a new local delivery service?
Yeah. We wanted to create a truly personalised delivery service, one where we look after our coffee from roast, right through to the delivery to your door. A service that ensures you receive the freshest coffee, which tastes the best, and one that is better for the environment. It’s called Brew Run.
How does this delivery service work?
You’ll order coffee via our Brew Run app and the next weekday, a reusable canister filled with freshly roasted coffee will be delivered to your door. Like the old school milk bottle run, we’ll collect your empty coffee canisters to be refilled; so, there is no packaging waste. I think it is the first coffee service like this in New Zealand.
So, you are using reusable canisters instead of coffee bags? How does that work?
When you place your first order, you’ll pay a small fee for your first canister, just three dollars. You’ll only pay that once if you return your canister to be refilled. We’ll collect the empty canisters when we deliver your next coffee order and your Brew Run account will be credited $3 for every returned canister. We thoroughly clean and sanitise all returned canisters before we refill them.
Who can access this service?
Delivering coffee is new territory for Atomic, so we are starting with a confined area, servicing the 8,000 locals and businesses that reside within a 2km radius of our roastery! It is truly a local service. Once we finesse our systems, we’ll look to extend our delivery zone.
If I order my coffee on a Friday when would I expect delivery?
Our new Atomic moped will be out on the road from 7am every Monday to Friday. Orders placed on Friday, Saturday or Sunday will be delivered the following Monday. As we grow the Brew Run, we’ll look to deliver seven days a week to make our service even more convenient.
Is there a minimum order for the coffee?
No minimum order—well, you need to order at least one canister, and we deliver free of charge.
What coffees are available? Can I order ground coffee?
We have our three signature Atomic coffee blends, and a rotating selection of single origins. We can grind beans to your drinking preference – plunger, filter, stovetop, or espresso.
If they are ground beans do you put a roasting date on the coffee?
Freshness is essential for great Atomic coffee. We roast our main blends every day, so your coffee will always be delivered within a few days of roasting. Fresh coffee tastes the best, and we will always have a roasted-on date on our canisters, so you know exactly when the coffee has been roasted.
